My question was, it's more important RAM upgrade or Video Card upgrade?First for Panotour use (loading, builting tiles, fresh editing without lacks of time), but also for use Autopano instead of ptgui.

Passing to this new PC from my five years old desktop, it was very unsatisfactory. I need more power :-)

More RAM is the main thing. The graphic card´s power just comes into play in the editor - not with rendering as far as i know.But of course a fast working editor hepls a lot!

Also very important is the speed and bandwith of HD/SSD.

Preferably use a completely empty SSD for temp and another one for OS and application. HD for storage.

best, Klaus

I suggest at least 16GB, preferably 32 or 64GB of RAM.

For APG - rather than PTP - consideration of hard disk/SSD configurations and more RAM on video card (2GB will help more is less certaiin and anyway depends on size of your panos) are also relevant, on top of CPU power and main RAM size.
